Our European Adventure 2018

We checked in with Filipe and Linda, who live in an apartment across the river from the city center. Felipe gave us a map and written information on the bus to take into Porto and what to see. It was still raining so we decided to shower and rest up for tomorrow’s sightseeing. In the evening we went to a neighborhood restaurant for a local specialty, the Francesinha. This is a sandwich made with steak, ham, sausage, cheese, and a fried egg, covered with piri-piri sauce, served with French fries. It was huge and we should have split one, but we took leftovers home and ate it minus the bread and French fries the next day. It was fine—Dean liked all the meat, but we weren’t crazy about it. Once is enough. Good thing Porto is hilly, so we can burn off the calories tomorrow.

Note to selves: The waiter brought appetizers we didn’t ask for so we thought they were free. They were delicious, but we learned that we have to pay for every extra, including the take-home box!もっと詳しく
